Are you only having problems with PDF files? I'm asking because Firefox 19 came out last week, and includes a built-in PDF viewer. See View PDF files in Firefox without downloading them for details. You could try switching back to using Adobe's PDF viewer in Firefox. See How to disable the built-in PDF viewer and use another viewer
